Hey all! Ok, so it's been a bit since the last chapter. I do apologize. It's been eventful to say the least, but no worries. I'm back, and this project is not going anywhere! I'm seeing this through to the end. Pretty much the only way this thing is going unfinished is if I die. So, like, if this ever goes, let's say six months, with no updates, make sure you flood the review section with RIPs. But, in the meantime, let's get back to our Kaiju buddies, cause we got another chapter to do! I must again apologize, as this chapter is a little short compared to others, as the chapter is pretty different from the episode I'm updating. The plot is overall the same, but as those familiar with my videos may have noticed, Orga and Frankenstein have not joined SpaceGodzilla's group in this version(I have other plans for them). So, their entire betrayal subplot isn't included here, so this one may be short and sweet, but it is leading up to some good stuff. And I do think I managed to replace it with something more exciting, thanks to some inspiration from Godzilla vs. Kong. Thank you for understanding, and enjoy!
Chapter 12
The Cold Always Bothered SpaceGodzilla Anyway
"Guys, great news," announced Destoroyah, happily marching in from the lab.
"You're dying," asked SpaceGodzilla, not even looking up from his collection of crystals to absorb.
Destoroyah growled, not too fond of having his own joke used on him. "The great news is that the new ultimate MechaGodzilla is finally complete!"
SpaceGodzilla finally looked up, interested, but not convinced. "Do the weapons actually work?"
Destoroyah smirked. "All fully functional, and ready for action!"
SpaceGodzilla tried to contain his excitement. He knew that with Destoroyah, this was almost certainly too good to be true. "You, uh, didn't make it out of bones, did you?"
"Nope! Used that space titanium stuff you gave me! Come see."
SpaceGodzilla followed him into the lab, and there stood a perfect killing machine, clearly loaded from head to toe with an amazing amount of weapons. "Destoroyah! This...this thing looks incredible! Powerful, and agile, it looks perfect! And...are those finger missiles!? And...a drill built into the tail!? I think I'm in love!"
"Don't get creepy with my machine before I reveal the best part! I programmed it with AI intelligence! It will automatically slaughter any living creature it sees!"
"Has it been tested," asked SpaceGodzilla.
"That's the only thing remaining to do. And I'm expecting a shipment that should help with that. Should arrive anytime."
"Hey Destoroyah," said Hedorah, walking into his lab, followed by a large octopus, carrying numerous crates. "This guy has a delivery for you."
"What kept you," griped Destoroyah.
"Oh please," said Oodako, the octopus. "Just sign my forms so I can get my inky butt out of here!"
"Not yet. I gotta test them out first. Make sure you're not ripping me off."
"It's ten dozen Skull Crawlers," yelled Oodako. "Not a new car!"
"The heck is a car," wondered Hedorah.
"You ordered Skull Crawlers," asked SpaceGodzilla. "Why? Those things are vicious animals. They don't even speak!"
"They'll be the ultimate test for our machine," said Destoroyah, turning MechaGodzilla on. The robot hummed with power, as its warmup systems kicked in. Destoroyah grinned. "Now, Oodako, release the monsters!"
"Are you insane," gasped Oodako! "This is ten dozen Skull Crawlers! They'll rip us to pieces!"
"No they won't. It's totally safe. Once MechaGodzilla's done warming up, it'll protect us!"
Oodako began inching toward the exit, but Hedorah stood in his way. "Better do as he says, Squidward. I'm made of pollution, which you know is really unhealthy for you aquatic types."
Oodako sighed, took out his control panel, and activated the crates, automatically opening it. Within seconds, countless half starved Skull Crawlers came charging out, and swarmed Oodako, immediately digging into him and ripping one of his tentacles off. Oodako screamed in agony as the beasts continued to eat him alive.
SpaceGodzilla nervously glanced at the robot. It was still booting up. "Destoroyah..."
"Just wait. It's coming." They stood watching the robot, as Oodako's screams and cries for help intensified.
Hedorah glanced around nervously. "You guys do realize that once they have finished their dinner, they're gonna want dessert, right?"
"Quiet Heddy," said Destoroyah. "Any second now." They waited for three more minutes, as MechaGodzilla's functions continued to come online. Oodako's screams continued, as the Skull Crawlers continued to feast. And then, as one, they all turned and faced SpaceGodzilla.
"Destoroyah," he said nervously.
"Almost there," said Destoroyah, not even paying attention to the vicious beasts, and only focusing on his beloved creation.
The Skull Crawlers came charging forward, leapt into the air, and came sailing toward SpaceGodzilla, only to be blasted out of the air by a barrage of finger missiles. MechaGodzilla let out a mechanical hiss, and approached the monstrosities. Several Skull Crawlers were already dead, but there were still plenty left.
Despite being brutes, the Skull Crawlers were surprisingly intelligent, and they began sneaking around in opposite directions to completely surround the machine. MechaGodzilla just remained where it was, completely motionless.
As one, the Skull Crawlers all lunged from every direction, which MechaGodzilla was more than ready for. The head began spinning in fast circles, until a large forcefield covered its entire body. Some Skull Crawlers managed to quickly change their direction in time. But most were instantly fried upon hitting the forcefield. MechaGodzilla activated its eye lasers to vaporize the Skull Crawlers running to its front, and used the drill tail to slaughter the ones running off to the rear.
Now only one Skull Crawler remained. It hissed a warning, which MechaGodzilla ignored, as it approached the creature. The forcefield was down now, so the Skull Crawler took a chance, and leapt toward the robot, only to be grabbed by both arms, and stretched painfully as far as the arms could stretch. MechaGodzilla opened its large mouth, and a powerful beam that even Godzilla would be jealous of came out, completely splitting the Skull Crawler in half. MechaGodzilla hissed in victory, and dropped the two halves to the floor.
"Wow, that thing is super effective," said SpaceGodzilla, looking around at the bloody mess all around him.
"Yes," said Destoroyah, wiping a tear from his eye. "I'm so proud of this machine. Nothing could ruin this day for me. It's the most perfect thing I ever..."
MechaGodzilla suddenly hissed in Destoroyah's face, surprising him, and its stomach suddenly opened up, revealing a powerful Plasma Grenade. It fired, sending Destoroyah crashing through the wall of the lab with a massive explosion.
"What the crap," exclaimed Hedorah. MechaGodzilla faced the Smog Monster. Hedorah laughed. "Stand down! Don't make me rust you, you dumb hunk of metal!"
But MechaGodzilla was anything but scared, as its hands suddenly transformed into powerful electric drills. MechaGodzilla leapt forward, and slammed the drills into Hedorah. Normally, drills would not hurt him, but the power of the electricity was drying out his sludgy body, letting the drills do major damage. "SPACEGODZILLA! HELP!"
"Hey bolt brain," said SpaceGodzilla. MechaGodzilla turned his way and hissed. SpaceGodzilla smiled. "Go ahead. Kill me!"
Ready to comply, MechaGodzilla opened its mouth, and fired that powerful beam again. As it was about to strike, SpaceGodzilla activated his crystal shield, reflecting the attack right back at the robot. The beam slammed through its chest, taking out its main power core, and without another movement, MechaGodzilla shut back down.
Destoroyah crawled through the rubble of the wall he'd gone through. "Uh, oops."
"Oops," questioned SpaceGodzilla. "This is more than just oops! Explain yourself, now!"
"Well...I guess when I set up the AI programming, I forgot to make it so that MechaGodzilla wouldn't view us as enemies. But it's a slight problem. Easily fixed. I just need a few weeks to..."
"YOU IDIOT," screamed SpaceGodzilla. "THIS IS THE THIRD MECHAGODZILLA YOU SCREWED UP!" He roared in uncontrollable rage, and went storming out of the cave.
Hedorah watched him go, and then looked down at the injured octopus on the floor. "Well, thanks for excellent service. Here, this is for you."
He tossed a trilobite to Oodako, who sighed in response. "I need a new job."
"I can't stand those idiots," said SpaceGodzilla as he stomped through the cold jungles. "Destoroyah screwing up all my plans, Hedorah making a mess of my beautiful home, I just can't take it!" He stomped into a pile of fresh snow and roared, his warm breath visible as fog. "Maybe it's time to sever our partnership. This isn't working out at all." He shivered. "And why the heck is it so cold on such a normally hot island? Whatever. I just can't do this anymore."
"The problem isn't your goons," said a voice. SpaceGodzilla looked. A blizzard was approaching him, and in the midst was what appeared to be Godzilla. Only it wasn't Godzilla. This creature had the shape of Godzilla, but the flesh was snow white, and the spikes coming out of its back looked like icicles. "The problem is you! You're no leader! You lack the intelligence to get anything done. If I were in charge, I would have monitored that idiot's progress on the machine, and made sure it was built correctly."
"What are you talking about," asked SpaceGodzilla. "I'm the only obvious choice for leader!"
"Don't make me laugh," said the mysterious Godzilla. "Your mind and heart truly are evil, but a true villain would never have partnered with those two. You should have instead made them your slaves."
"What right do you have to question my methods," said SpaceGodzilla.
"What right do you have to be a leader? I am taking over this group."
"You did not just say what I think you said," growled SpaceGodzilla.
"I did. I will be the new leader, and you three will serve as my slaves. Ranking even lower than my right hand monster, Orga."
The hunchbacked monster Orga walked up behind his master, laughing with insane glee.
"I'm nobody's slave," said SpaceGodzilla. And with that, he unleashed the most powerful burst of corona beam he could muster. It struck the ice monster hard, but to SpaceGodzilla's shock and horror, the creature howled with laughter. The attack hadn't even phased his icy body.
"So...I see you'd rather do this the hard way."
SpaceGodzilla's eyes widened, and he began backing up in fear. "What are you?"
The new monster grinned. "Just call me, Ice Godzilla. And I'll call you dead." Ice Godzilla opened his mouth, and a cold burst of freezing nuclear energy came out, covering SpaceGodzilla, who was frozen solid in a matter of seconds. Ice Godzilla smiled at his work. "Orga, bring him along. We may need to use him as an example."
"Yes, master," said Orga, with a bow.
"You're insane," said Destoroyah. "I take orders from no one!"
"Would you rather end up like your friend," asked Ice Godzilla, gesturing to the frozen SpaceGodzilla.
"He's not my friend! And your tricks don't scare me! He was slow. Your cold attacks won't catch me!" Destoroyah began taking off into the air, not knowing that Orga was hanging from the ceiling of the cave, holding a massive boulder.
"Special delivery," yelled Orga. He dropped down, slamming the boulder and shattering it over Destoroyah's head, sending him crashing back down to the ground.
"A shame," said Ice Godzilla. "You would have been a very useful slave. But, I will do what I have to." He then unleashed his freezing attack onto the stunned Destoroyah, freezing him completely. Now only Hedorah remained.
Hedorah gulped. "Yikes! I hate where this is going."
"So," said Ice Godzilla, approaching him. "Will you serve me willingly, or do you prefer to spend the rest of your life as an ice sludgy?"
Hedorah sighed. "It seems I have no choice. What is your first order...master?"
